take the lamb to school

After Yi Ling informed His Royal Highness that he was going to be a guest at Monroe's residence, the next morning, he came to the door with an invitation card.

The servant led him into the drawing room, where Duke Truman was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

"Good day, my lord duke."

Yi Ling said hello first, and Duke Truman quickly stood up to return the greeting. His eyes were bright, and he stared straight at Yi Ling: "...Good day, please sit down."

Yi Ling sat down uncomfortably, put her feet together, and said cautiously: "May I ask why you came here?"

Although he and Duke Truman had met once, but now it was only the two of them facing each other, and Yiling suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

Duke Truman smiled kindly and said, "I heard that you did well in the last exam. I want to ask about your studies."

Oh, Ealing sees, it's for Lambert.

So he told the father who loved his son in full detail about what books he read, how many hours he studied every day, and even what quill he used in the exam.

Duke Truman listened with gusto, and when Yi Ling had finished speaking, he was still not satisfied. He poured two cups of black tea and pushed one of them in front of Yi Ling: "Then... how do you get along with your classmates?"

Is this asking about his relationship with Lambert?

Yi Ling frowned, he and Lambert got along very badly, but, did he want to tell the truth?

"Lambert is very energetic," Elling paused, "We are a harmonious classmate relationship."

Duke Truman was drinking tea, choked when he heard this, and said, "...No, I'm asking...you and other students, not just Lambert."

"Everyone is very good, we are all friends," Yi Ling asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking me these things, Your Excellency? I just met you once..."

Duke Truman was dumb, with a look of disappointment on his face: "You can understand it as an elder's concern for you."

"elder?"

"Yes, elder," Duke Truman said, "I found out that you are from Airian. You were adopted by a shepherd, right?"

Yi Ling thought suspiciously: Why is Duke Truman asking about these things?Would a famous duke know a shepherd far away in a border town?

But out of politeness, he still replied: "Yes, Uncle Mike raised me, he is a kind and good man."

"Then... haven't you thought about going to find your biological parents?" Duke Truman stirred the tea thoughtfully, and then said, "Actually, I know your parents."

Yi Ling was extremely shocked. He was silent for a while and pleaded: "Your Excellency, may I ask...my parents, where are they now?"

Duke Truman's face sank, and he said: "Your mother is no longer alive, and your father, he... for some reason, he only recently found out about your whereabouts, but he couldn't admit your identity, so he entrusted me to take care of you." you."

"Impossible!" Yi Ling stood up abruptly, "My mother didn't die!"

He has always believed in his mother's existence so firmly, and he can sense that his mother is waiting for him somewhere.As for his father...Uncle Mike never mentioned this person, and Yi Ling acquiesced that he didn't have a father. How could the situation be completely opposite according to Duke Truman?

Yi Ling asked suspiciously: "Why can't my father admit my identity? How did he know my whereabouts? I only came to Mingsalu half a year ago, and the place where I usually stay most is the school .Since he only recently found out that there is a son like me, does it mean that he is the person by my side."

Duke Truman's face was flustered for a moment, and he quickly concealed it. He said with difficulty: "What I told you is true. Your mother has indeed not had contact with anyone for a long, long time, and your father, he has some difficulties." ..."

"I don't care," Yi Ling interrupted the man. "If the facts are as you said, then I don't care. Does it matter if he admits my identity?"

Duke Truman seemed unable to accept Ealing's calm attitude. He also stood up and raised his voice: "Didn't you long for fatherly love when you were young? When other children can live a good life, you! You are in the wild Sheep! Don’t you feel sad and sad about this?!”

"But I'm already 16 years old, I've grown up! I don't need him anymore!" Yi Ling's heart ached slightly. He couldn't understand Duke Truman's comparison of the shepherds so lowly, as if denying everything about Uncle Mike. As much as giving, he exclaimed, "And I'm happy! Even herding sheep, I'm happy!"

To some extent, Uncle Mike fills the role of father in a family very well, which directly leads to a result——Compared with father's love, Ealing has more yearning and longing for mother's love.

So, if he said he didn't care, he really didn't care.

Truman's face flushed red, his eyes widened, he was panting heavily, his pained expression flashed, and he calmed down quickly.He clenched his fists and said in a moderate tone: "Since your father entrusted you to me, I must fulfill my responsibilities. You can come to me if you have any difficulties in the future. Remember, it is any difficulty."

At this time, Yi Ling's mood also calmed down. He realized that he should not yell at Duke Truman, after all, he was only entrusted by others.

"Sorry, Your Excellency the Duke."

Yi Ling drooped her head in frustration.

Duke Truman raised his hand and gently rubbed the boy's hair: "You don't need to apologize, I should apologize. From now on, you can call me uncle."

Yi Ling felt a broad palm covering the top of his head. He remembered that every time he made a mistake before, Uncle Mike would rub his head like this after explaining a truth, so he said in a muffled voice, "...Uncle."

Then he raised his head: "I want to know one more thing."

"My parents, what are their names?"

Duke Truman looked at the red roses on the coffee table, with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Your father's name is Tulio, and your mother's name is Diane."
